NJ hit-and-run driver rams into police officer helping disabled motorist: video

A New Jersey police officer is recovering after a hit-and-run driver plowed into him while he was helping a motorist whose car broke down over the weekend, authorities said.

Connor Boyle, a 25-year-old patrolman with the Robbinsville Police Department, was outside his marked patrol car while speaking to the other driver on Rt. 130 Southbound near East Windsor when a 2020 Volkswagen Passat struck the officer, the department said.

Video shared by police shows Boyle telling the driver he would help push the driver’s disabled vehicle into a nearby parking lot when the Passat can be seen striking the officer’s patrol car before ramming into Boyle and the other driver’s car.

The driver of the Passat drove away without helping the injured officer or reporting the crash, according to police.
